“if Romney starts creeping up into the low or mid 50’s, the Dems are gonna have a meltdown of epic proportions.”

Its only a matter of time before Obama has a meltdown in public IMO. He’s already come close to it on several occasions. Narcissists don’t deal well with rejection.

Rush always says liberals go crazy when they are out of power or see themselves losing power.

This is very early in the campaign process for an incumbent president to be significantly behind in polling. Even Jimmy Carter’s polls were positive right up to the last few weeks of the campaign.

I think the crazy distractions (contraceptives, gay marriage, Mitt’s a bully) are only going to increase as time goes on and Obama remains behind in polls. And oh my gosh, what will they do if the Supreme Court overturns Obamacare!

Obama’s pals in the MSM are probably retracing every step of his life much like they did to Sarah Palin. This election is not just about defeating Obama, its also about defeating a corrupt and mendacious MSM.

“Mitt’s a bully”

Yeah, he once threw a snowball at a girl in the fifth grade. LOL.

When I opened my daily peek at the Rasmussen Daily Obama Approval Index History, I could barley contain myself, upon the realization that the Chicago Jesus was back in the territory he belongs - 22%. Rasmussen must have magiacally hit the mother lode of SANE AMERICANS during the past three days.

I'm so glad, as of now, America's not buying... that Romney's pranks 50 years ago are an issue

Those of us who post here on FR, listen to Rush, Hannity, etc. know that the media is in the tank for Obama. What this 50-year old "non-story" did was make it obviously clear to millions of other Americans with less political interest that the media is in the tank for Obama. That this story was a manufactured hatchet job was so obvious to everyone. Even many of the denizens over at DU were predicting that the reaction to this story wouldn't go the way as it was intended.

Not only that but he traveled back in time to 2009 to bring a billion-dollar stimulus proposal to 2012!

The bully story sounded pretty desperate didn’t it?

I’m not a Romney fan, but I’m betting he’ll attack Baraq far more vigorously than McLame or Hildabeast ever did.

Oh I think most FReepers are aware of and agree with your point in the first paragraph - although the poll-parsing may tend to obscure that fact.

Nothing, it seems, stirs the left more than normality, a concept they are rarely in regular contact with by accident or design. Normal jobs, normal families, normal aspirations, normal relationships etc. Look how they rail at these things and attempt to use the power of the state to eliminate or replace them. Alienation does strange things to human beings and we are seeing the fruits of that alienation in the causes taken up by the left.

But even leftists concede that Obama operates on a frequency even they can’t tune in, but they attempt to conceal his lack of connection with a phone book full of euphemisms: a cool customer, too intelligent, etc.

Bingo... McCain was a disgrace. Romney, with all of his flaws, won't back down. As Rush said, he didn't spend years going across the country, sleeping in motels, away from his family... Just to lay down and let the KM get re-elected.

Americans, please, please, please......do not take comfort in these poll numbers. Yes, I, too, am overjoyed that Romney is beating this tyrant, Obama, but....the only poll that counts is the real one that takes place on November 6, 2012. We need every decent, honest & patriotic American we can get to go to the polls and vote against Obama on election day, 2012!!! Please, take nothing for granted. We must completely destroy Obama and the entire Democrat Party politically for many years to come. Stay engaged and continue the battle as if we were losing by twenty points!!! I am!!!

Romneys reply......”Yes and the American people want a president that will bully enemies both foreign and domestic back into their cage.”

AND HERE'S HOW TO NEUTRALIZE IT:

Just ask - "Where's the Big Media investigations about Obama's crack-smoking?"

or - "Where's the reports about Obama's associations with a terrorist (Ayers) and a hate-monger (Wright)?

or - "Where's the investigation of Obama's SS numbers?"

..... you get the idea. Keep asking, and don't let up. Put Big media on the defensive - where they SHOULD be, after giving this dope a free ride for so long!!

Objective my arse

The Democrats are going to get very very nasty this time around. If our side tries to counter... the race card will be played immediately along with the victim card. But this constraint may work to our advantage... our side will look like cautious adults while the other side will look like the immature petty loud mouthed idiots that they are. Many people who voted for Obama the last time around are finally beginning to understand what a serious mess the country is now in. Hopefully they will choose people who appear to be serious about getting things back on track.

That had me concerned a bit too.. If Romney has built a nationwide lead, albeit only recently, be should be up in battleground states,

I would hate for this to be the election that makes Dems like the electoral college system again.

They will have a meltdown inside the White House, but in public they are going to get very ugly this fall.

I think you're on to something. For all of his faults, Romney is meat loaf, mashed potatoes and gravy while Obama is dog meat and arugula. Bon appetit.

Your post is as spot-on accurate as can be. If "Team Romney" has any members or lurkers on FR, turn this FReepers's prose into a highly effective ad!
